I'm looking at buying a 95 GTS to turn into an ontrack car, (roadcourse) though a somewhat low budget one

So anyhow, one I'm looking at is a Blue 95 GTS, 5 spd, 235,000 miles, supposed to run well, tranny is supposed to shift good, clutch has had a slippage problem for a while, body is "perfect" it's been a daily driver for the past 9 years, bone stock except for the gasoline, tires and oil.... He wants $1,650 for it... Is this pretty fair sounding? <assuming description is correct>

and also, I might test drive it/look it over Saturday.. Any suggestions of particular things to look out for? I know almost nothing about SN95's, so I need all the help I can get

I appreciate any help!

If it is as advertised, I'd say that's a smoking deal. Heck, once you gut the interior (since it's a track car), you can probably get half that money back.

Ok, that's what I was thinking.

btw, What's special or not so special about the GTS?

They're just a rare Mustang option really. Basically, they're stripped of the eminities to save on the cost (and weight for the performance minded).

Honestly though, the coolest thing about them is being a GTS and having thier own model. It isn't a stripped down GT, it's a GTS. In 96, they were a GT with the 248A option. Not as cool.

The harmonic balancers suck on our cars if it hasn't been replaced expect it to go out they usually go south close/after 100,000 miles.

my 94 GT just turned over 204k miles and only major componet to be replaced was the transmission.

I should mention that with just a K&N filter, off road H-pipe and flowmasters it'll lay down 9.7 1/8th miles all nite and still get estimated 22mph or so on highway.

If it's been taken care of, jump on it man.

That's a good looking car, now depending on what it looks like now, I'd say go for it.

BTW that color rocks

Well I got surprised, he sent the pics a little bit ago.... for a 235,000 mile car, this paint is PERFECT..yeah, it's faded a little, but dude, this was way beyond expectations, lol
and the car is very clean all over.. amazing

Especially the engine compartment... Shocking for a 235,000 mile car...
